Removing, Reversing, Unblocking

The Waning Moon is here &
You want to get "rid off" something.
Perhaps you have a very large debt &
You can't make headway..
Maybe there's a co worker making life at the job
miserable.

Is there an exam you need to pass,
but seem unable?
A move up the corporate ladder,
but something always gets in the way.
These are blocks..

You're having a bad run of luck.
There's a lot of arguing or jealousy.
That creates negativity.
These things need to be reversed.

What am I getting at here?
Candles.
Removing, Reversing, Unblocking.
There is much confusion on this subject.

Some time ago,
I put some unblocking candles in My Etsy shop..
The immediate response - "You know the correct way
to make these candles"..
I still hear it today when I make an unblocking or
Road Opening Candle.
But this is NOT about tooting My own horn.
This is explaining a difference that many don't understand.

Unblocking Candles
Should be black on the top.
The bottom half could be a color representing
the purpose - Red, to unblock matters of the heart;
Green for financial matters.

Abre Camino, Or Road Opener candles are Black & Red.
The colors of an Abre Camino candle represent Elegua or Lucero,
Opener of roads.
In the traditions of Santeria & Palo
Elegua or Lucero is called on for assistance in opening the path,
Getting things moving.

Now We come to reversing candles..
This is where the confusion sets in.
Reversing candles.
In the traditional afro/cuban fashion
These candles are Red on top (or green) and Black on the bottom.
The problem is people making the candles don't always
understand the "Whys".
People using the candles often don't understand the "Hows".
The purpose of a "reversing" candle IS to reverse or change
what has been done..
So here comes the "Secret" most people don't understand.
We reverse the candle.
That's right.
We flip it over, cut it so the wick is exposed & burn it.
Even the ones in glass jars..

May you use the Magick of the Waning/Dark Moon Wisely,
May Your path be clear,
Your Road, Open.

Meditation & Messages during the Full Moon

During My Full Moon Meditations,
I asked if there was any message I was to share.
What I heard was "The Tower"..
Followed by "Disaster".

I asked specifically what was meant,
This is what I heard -
Economic Crisis
Disaster befalls
Indo/Asian Markets

I'm no expert in finance.
I have no idea what Indo/Asian

actually refers to
But I am delivering the message
just the same.

The Magick of The Moon

I'm asked the following quite often...
How many days does the Full Moon last?
OR
How many days after the Full Moon
Can I still "Bring"?
There are many variations on the question,
But the point is always the same.

Witchcraft or "The Craft of the Wise"
Is a nature based tradition.
We follow the cycles of nature.
We learn from it.
We learn from Her.
Now there is an adage in magick,
When working with the Moon -
3 days before, 3 days after.
Is this correct?
Partially.
When the Moon is New, yes.
It continues to become visible to the eye.
We work the magick of bringing.
The magick of making Our dreams, desires,
goals, visible.
This culminates with the Full moon.
The energy of the Moon is at it's peak.
BUT
Once the moon is "Full",
It begins a decline in visibility.
It may appear to the human eye
As full, But it IS on the wane.
The Earth does not stand still,
Nature does not stop,
Nor does it put everything on hold for 3 days.
Because We don't "see' the shift does not
mean it is not occurring.
3 days before / 3 days after?
When it comes to the Full Moon,
All bets are off.
The answer to this question lies
In the difference between believing & knowing.
That is a truth of The Craft of the Wise...

May you come to know for yourself.

Man sees color
Spirit does Not

Wishing All the Lovely Canadian Women (& Men)
I've met here,
A very Happy Day!!!
